More than six years after the referendum, I am still being told why I voted Leave by people who voted Remain.

Our last Olympiad and Kangaroo of the year are today. Good luck to all the students who are participating! We wish you all the best and we hope you enjoy the paper. A huge thank you to our sponsors, @xtxmarkets, for helping to make all of our Challenges a possibility.

A great resource for any student preparing for BMO2 is ‘A Mathematical Companion’ by Geoff Smith. Purchase here: ukmt.org.uk/product/95 If you order by December 13th you should receive this book by Christmas (UK only).

We recently opened a call for evidence to hear from women about their experiences of health and care. Watch @DrSarahJarvis and @MattHancock discuss why it is important for people to share their views. Get involved: gov.uk/government/consultati… #TalkWomensHealth

Back-of-envelope. If 5 events *were* caused by AZ vaccine, expect 1 event in 2 mil jabs. If 2 mil people in 50s put off their jab by 1 week, expect ~2,000 to get infected, 20-30 seriously ill, 5 to die. So benefit/risk ratio high even for *1* week. But risk goes on in unjabbed!

All of us at the Australian Maths Trust are deeply saddened by the recent death of Peter Neumann. Peter, son of Bernard H Neumann, was loved and respected by many of us and he was integral to the founding and early years of the United Kingdom Maths Trust.

An honour to welcome Prof McBride for an inspirational Maths Lecture today. Strict Covid protocols did not dampen the atmosphere of enthusiasm for Maths as pupils attended the seminar hosted by Maxwell Mearns church. A great example of the school community pulling together!

Great to hear that Yuka Machino (17) was the top female at the (online) International Maths Olympiad - her Gold medal helped UK into a fine 9th place out of 105. Now try the sample problem… bmos.ukmt.org.uk/home/imo-20…

First thing to know about Nigel: #BreakingNews! He's a shameless liar. Here's just one example: "Turkey is about to join the EU!" Sure, it was an official Leave lie, relayed by Facebook (funding by who BTW?) ads. But as a MEP, he knew Cyprus' veto made that impossible. 270/n
